The '''Houcheng Formation''' is a geological [[Formation (geology)|formation]] in Hebei, China whose strata date back to the Upper Middle Jurassic. The lithology primarily consists of sandstone and conglomerate deposited in fluvial, alluvial fan and fan delta conditions, with interbeds of volcanic rocks.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Dou|first1=Luxing|last2=Hou|first2=Jiagen|last3=Song|first3=Suihong|last4=Zhang|first4=Li|last5=Liu|first5=Yuming|last6=Sun|first6=Shuang|last7=Li|first7=Yongqiang|last8=Wang|first8=Xixin|last9=Ren|first9=Xiaoxu|last10=Tang|first10=Ying|last11=Tian|first11=Heng|date=May 2020|editor-last=Patacci|editor-first=M.|title=Sedimentary characteristics of hyperpycnites in a shallow lacustrine environment: A case study from the Lower Cretaceous Xiguayuan Formation, Luanping Basin, Northeast China|url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/gj.3599|journal=Geological Journal|language=en|volume=55|issue=5|pages=3344–3360|doi=10.1002/gj.3599|s2cid=200059969 |issn=0072-1050|url-access=subscription}}</ref> Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.<ref name="latejurassicdistribution">Weishampel, David B; et al.
